Answer:
16 800 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly find the volume of the tank( cuboid =box shaped/rectangular prism)
Volume of a cuboid = Length* Width*Height
= 4m *3m*2m
= 24m^3
Convert 24m^3 to Litres
1m^3= 1000 litres
Therefore, Voulme of Tank is: 24m^3 *1000= 24 000litres
Secondly: Subtract the volume of tank by the amount sold daily to get the fall
24000-7200= 16 800litres remaining in the tank
